People don’t usually feel stuck because they are incapable.
They feel stuck because they keep postponing action.
There is always a reason to wait.
To plan a little more.
To feel a bit more ready.
But life rarely gives that perfect green light.
What actually changes things is simple.
You start where you are.
Even if it feels small.
Even if it is not perfect.
Even if no one is watching.
Because progress does not come from thinking more.
It comes from doing something, then adjusting along the way.
And over time, those small steps build a completely different life.
What is one thing you would do this week if you stopped overthinking it?

Claude does the vibe coding.
Design is still human.
That’s the edge.
Nice
Spent the weekend building a fun flow for the Paper x Contra challenge. ☀️
I take photos on my walks all the time, but they mostly just sit in my camera roll.
I wanted a way to make something out of them, preferably something I'll be inclined to come back to. I’ve always liked scrapbooks, just never did them digitally.
So, I text photos and a caption to a Telegram bot. An agent picks it up, reads the mood, chooses a layout, adapts it, and uses Paper’s MCP to generate a page. It places the images, adds different stickers and sets a quote!
It then sends it back to me as a finished spread, so I can view it right away.
Currently feeling much more excited about font walks, color walks and daily park walks.
Building small collections as I go! :)
Such a cool build Sara! Great storytelling here too🙌
Gamifying client reports with AI ✨
As a social media marketer, I spend hours every month translating data into "pretty" reports, only for them to get buried in a client’s inbox. And if the client doesn't see the data, they don't see the value I'm bringing to the table.
So I decided to use Morphic to turn dry Instagram analytics into a "Spotify Wrapped" style arcade experience. By gamifying the reporting process, I’m not just saving time - I’m increasing client engagement and proving ROI in a way they actually enjoy watching.
The workflow:
🕹️ Step 1: you upload raw Instagram screenshots and Morphic extracts the data into a table, ready for human revision
🕹️ Step 2: after you give it the green light on the data, it'll run a custom equation I built to calculate the MVP (Most Valuable Post), based on weighing high-value actions like shares (10x) and saves (7x) over vanity metrics like likes
🕹️ Step 3: to get the best video results, Morphic starts by generating images of each slide, both with the given data, and some "zero-ed out" copies - this allows the AI to animate the data much more accurately
🕹️ Step 4: after you approve the images, it'll put it together into 5 separate animations, as you can see in the example below
...et voilá! You got yourself something that took you way less time and is much more engaging - both for you AND the client!
This is solid 👏 The overall presentation is very strong
